Failed to compile code using boost::call_once with Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 on Windows

[abrarov@…]

Environment:

1. Windows 8 Pro x64 Russian.
2. MS Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 Update 2.
3. Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 (Intel C++ Compiler XE 13.0.0.089 for Windows).

Tried to compile this code:

#if defined(WIN32)
#include <tchar.h>
#endif

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/thread/once.hpp>

namespace {

class foo
{
public:
  void operator()() const
  {
    std::cout << "foo" << std::endl;
  }
}; // class foo

}

#if defined(WIN32)
int _tmain(int /*argc*/, _TCHAR* /*argv*/[])
#else
int main(int /*argc*/, char* /*argv*/[])
#endif
{
  try
  {
    boost::once_flag once_flag = BOOST_ONCE_INIT;
    boost::call_once(once_flag, foo());
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }
  catch (...)
  {
    std::cerr << "Unknown exception" << std::endl;
  }
  return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Got compiler output with this error:

>main.cpp(31): error : more than one instance of overloaded function "boost::call_once" matches the argument list:
>              function template "void boost::call_once(boost::once_flag &, Function)"
>              function template "void boost::call_once(boost::once_flag &, Function &&)"
>              argument types are: (boost::once_flag, <unnamed>::foo)
>        boost::call_once(once_flag, foo());
>        ^

There is no such error (tested) with:

• MS Visual C++ 2012 Update 3 (Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 on Windows 8 Pro x64 Rus),
• Visual C++ 2010 (Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 Pro SP1 Rus),
• Visual C++ 2008 (Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP Pro SP3 Rus).

Proposed solution. Tested with all listed above compilers.

Could you try this patch

Replace

#ifndef BOOST_MSVC 

by

#if ! defined(BOOST_MSVC) && ! defined(BOOST_INTEL)

Replying to viboes:

Could you try this patch

Replace

#ifndef BOOST_MSVC 

by

#if ! defined(BOOST_MSVC) && ! defined(BOOST_INTEL)

This was the first solution I've done. But I think that this #if/#endif block isn't necessary at all (may produce errors for other compilers).

Committed revision [85539].

I would take some more time to refactor the call_once code windows implementation.
